On February 24th in the morning my boyfriend and I decided to go from Kyiv to Irpin to see his parents. It is hard for me to recall the chronology of those days, my mind blocks and minimizes all the memories, erases them, but the only thing I know for sure is that every day everything rapidly became worse.

 

Anastasiia Falileieva was born in 2000 in Kremenchuk, Ukraine. She studied stop-motion animation and directing at the Kiyv National I.Karpenko-Kary theatre, cinema and television University. Anastasiia is one of a very few stop-motion professionals left in the Ukrainian industry.
